Easter baby names!

[Annunziata]

Just for fun, because my sister is due any day now!

I suggested Crucifissa but I can't think of any normal ones.

[steppemum]

hmmm the Russian word for resurrection is Vaskrisheniya (no idea how to spell it in English)

but I don't know what Anastasia means, so might mean something similar

Pontius Pilate
Barabbas

[Frikadellen]

Annunciata

to quote
Annunciata \a-nnuncia-ta, ann(un)-ciata\ as a girl's name is of Italian origin, and the meaning of Annunciata is "announcement, notice". Allusion to the Annunciation, when the Virgin Mary learned she would be Jesus' mother. Sometimes given to a girl born in March, the logical month for such an announcement.

Anastasia is a Greek word meaning resurrection that travelled to Russia as a name via the Orthodox Church. 'Ana' is a Greek prefix denoting increase or 'rising from'.

Ostara

[Mitchy1nge]

So was she born on the 26th after all? So she can be named for both Magdalena Caterina (come mia figlia #3 ma anglicised) and Mary Magdalen? Maddalena, Madeleine?

Assumpta?

Speaking of the name Jesus. FIL is an academic, with lots of overseas students. He once found a note on his door that said 'Jesus, Mohammed and Caesar came to see you'. Probably outed myself there!

[Annunziata]

She was!

Annunziata is taken in this family and Assumpta is for an August baby really.

Thanks everyone

Jesus, Mohammed and Caesar is funny

How about cassia for a girl - like the cassia oil you put in Easter biscuits!

[pigletpower]

I googled ans Anastasia actually means reborn, so a little different to ressurection.

Agnes

Wikipedia says its "a female given name, which derives from the Greek name Ἁγνὴ hagnē, meaning "pure" or "holy". The Latinized form of the Greek name is Hagnes, the feminine form of Αγνός Hagnos, meaning "chaste" or "sacred". The name passed to Italian as Agnese, to Portuguese as Inês, and to Spanish, as Inés."

Whoops - doesn't understand Greek writing.
